maybe something like:

mask = 0x80ff4506

if ( mask == sys.maxint + 1 ) | ( mask > 2 * sys.maxint + 1):
   return error     #   0x8000000 can't be made an int no way no how
                    #   and reject anything over 0xffffffff
if mask > sys.maxint:
   mask = -int ( 2 * sys.maxint + 2 - mask )
